8. What constraints could affect the
implementation of nutrition intervention?
The most evident reason is due to
pandemic since the activities can still be
limited. In relation to this, during feeding
program, the parents of the malnourished
children will just bring the food from the
center to their respective households and
there might be a tendency that the food will
be divided also to the siblings of the
malnourished individual. Another thing,
parents are too lazy to follow the advice of
bns/bhw and other health committee.
